# faq
? How many .how domains are registered?
There are 7,803 active .how domains as of October 19, 2026, according to DNSniffer’s daily count of zone-file and certificate-transparency records.
? Is .how growing or shrinking?
.how has grown by 42.00% over the last year (+2,308 domains).
? Where does the .how domain count come from?
We ingest ICANN CZDS zone files and Certificate Transparency logs continuously and snapshot the per-TLD count once a day. A .how domain is counted as active if it appeared in a zone file in the last 2 days, or - where no zone file is published - if a certificate was issued for it in the last 12 months.
